The 2-8 Louisville Cardinals have fired head coach Bobby Petrinofollowing the team's seventh loss in a row. The Cardinals have let up over 50 points in half of their games and only one of their losses was even close. In their previous two games against second-ranked Clemson and 12th ranked Syracuse they lost 77-16 and 54-23, respectively.

"We want to thank Bobby for guiding our football program to some of the better seasons we have had historically at UofL during his two separate tenures here," athletic director Vince Tyrasaid in a statement. "However, at this time we feel the program needs different leadership and we owe it to our student-athletes and fans to get this turned around."
